8 Our group has been playing with them from the start and we love them. Both players and DMs agree that it adds life and surprise to the game. After a while we made some new tables with better rules to spice up our combats. We present them to you so you may enjoy critting that demon or cutting down to size that irritating party of do-gooders. Sure some players will whine and complain that the idea of some dirty kobold getting an insta-kill against their 20th level barbarian is silly but is it really? Luck is a factor of combat, these tables just spread it out more.

9 With the good rolls and bad rolls we have come to appreciate crits and fumbles a lot. We could not think of playing without them. How it works: When a player or monster makes an attack roll there is a chance to Critical or fumble. The difference of what is needed to hit and the final modified hit roll is the percent chance to Critical . The difference of what was needed to hit and the final modified miss roll is the percent chance to fumble. If a 1 is rolled an addition +35% is added to the fumble roll. If a 20 is rolled the percent chance is doubled for the Critical .

10 Crossbows: Light crossbows multiply Critical percents by and heavy crossbows double Critical hit percent chances. Damage: The only part of damage that is multiplied is the dice of the weapon and the magic it has. A +2 long sword can do a maximum of (1d8 +2)x3 for 30 points of Critical damage. What got hit?: When determining which appendage, leg, arm, foot, or hand use a d6, (1-3 left, 4-6 right7) Combat Example: Darius the cleric engages in battle with his trusted mace. Darius is confronted by a mighty ogre and rolls his attack, which is a 3.
